    Ogive length impact

    You said everything but possibly the biggest culprit. The actual scope. Trust me...I was there before. Chasing a flyer for a year or more and checked everything. Reinventing the wheel. I just couldn't/wouldn't acknowledge that possibly the scope is messed up. It has to be everything but...

    Soon to pick up a 300 Kong..now it's time for a scope..

    Since I posted this originally... I've brought myself up to speed in the optic world of present day. At one time I was employed deep in the industry and knew optics better than the back of my hand. I found out...NF are all made in Japan today or nearly all of them. I can't tell you which NF...

    How to stop cold bore shift?

    I get on a soap box about that... How on earth did we ever shoot before powders started saying "impervious to weather changes " "Less affected by weather" If it's trendy shooters will latch on to it with a death grip. You'd think powders from yesterday like IMR 4350 or Winchester 760 are...

    Ogive length impact

    Yeah the norm I've found is .001-.003 maybe with an occasional. 004-.005 in there but not often. Mostly .001-.003 tolerance. That said there is an easy way to check all this out. Load up 6 of your closest ogive measured bullets (if they exist)and go shoot them. If still getting a wild...

    Ogive length impact

    Something else I want to tell you... That comparator tool is great...however... It's very easy to get erratic readings if it's not set up right and if your bullet is the slightest bit cocked in there. I'm not questioning your caliper measuring prowess but just thinking of all possibke things...

    Ogive length impact

    You have something else wrong. That's my feeling from your description. 100 yards is not that far. To have a flyer that far off ...@ 100 yards... It's more than those bullets. I had a nearly identical situation with a rifle. 3 shot group...2 very close, 1 several inches out. I chased...

    Reloading 3 rifles for Elk loads..

    This statement was dead on two-three decades ago. Barnes are as good as any other top bullet out there. Any rifle can like bullet A over bullet B and that's just how that is but to say Barnes will have you smiling or chasing your tail more than other bullets is not being fair. At one...

    How to stop cold bore shift?

    This. And.. Just my opinion but the hot and cold thing get seriously over blown. To each their own but there is heat and then there is real HEAT...which bolt guns won't/can't see. Automatic heat will have an impact which bolt guns simply cant get that hot. Fouling is a huge ordeal. some...

    UPDATE***Explain this...case will not chamber...

    The Hornady is definitely .020 or so longer from the head to the belt top versus the WBY. You can see it in the picture pretty well

    Finally, Hens Teeth Have Been Found.

    Maybe but it's all relative. The alternative...cost of factory ammo with premium bullets.... Fuhgetaboutit If you can even find it.. Winchester Supreme as example. Hilarious... Price and availability. Box of 20 ballistic silvertip 180 gr 300WSM... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah... Whatever. Still...

    UPDATE***Explain this...case will not chamber...

    I am way early in the testing thing out phase and while two pieces aren't do or die... it's also a part of learning this new weapon and this caliber... thus i am curious if trimming an extra 20 thousandths off the neck making up for the extra .020 from head to belt would work. I am going to...
